Disseminated Scedosporium boydii infection with pulmonary and cerebral involvement in a patient with COPD: A case report

A 51-year-old Iranian man survived a severe respiratory illness but later died from a brain abscess caused by <i>Scedosporium boydii</i>, identified post-mortem. The case highlights the importance of comprehensive care, including adherence to treatment, regular follow-ups, and the use of both culture-based and molecular diagnostics. Incomplete treatment likely contributed to the fatal outcome. A key limitation of this report is the absence of MRI images due to a technical malfunction, preventing further radiological assessment. This case stresses the need for sustained and thorough medical management in complex infections to improve patient outcomes.
